Video: NASA 747s On Formation Photo Flight
NASA's two modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft briefly flew in formation for the first time ever over the Edwards Air Force Base test range on Aug. 2, 2011. NASA 911 was on a pilot proficiency flight while NASA 905 was on a functional check flight following maintenance operations. NASA photographer Carla Thomas captured video imagery of the formation flight from a NASA Dryden F/A-18. (youtu.be) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Those are neat and the tiny NASA F15 squeezed in around :20
I think you mean F/A18

N905A is (was?) in piece parts on Ellington Field, near Johnson Space Center. Check Google Earth for 4/2014.
Very pretty; all dressed up and no place to go.
Both have been retired. N911NA is in Palmdale and will be used for spares on SOFIA and N905NA is going on display in Houston.
